new barrels fitted by Parker would have the same serial number
if fitted by Remington/Parker the number would still be the same - and a repair code as well
since the numbers are different the barrels were fitted by someone else so - unless you know who- the why is lost to history
value is of course affected
the serial number is early enough someone may have replace composite barrels, there should be a letter by the serial number on the action.
what is that?
